Space - Time Spectral Analysis and its Applications to Atmospheric Waves
نویسنده
چکیده
Space-time spectral analysis methods and their applications to large-scale atmospheric waves are reviewed. Space-time spectral analysis resolves transient waves into eastward and westward moving components and is mathematically analogous to rotary spectral analysis which resolves twodimensional velocity vectors into clockwise and anticlockwise components. Space-time spectral analysis can also resolve transient waves consisting of multiple wavenumbers into standing and traveling wave packets. Space-time energy spectra are governed by space-time spectral energy equations which consist of linear and nonlinear energy transfer spectra. Space-time spectra can be estimated by either the lag correlation method, direct Fourier transform method or the maximum entropy method depending on the length of the time record. By use of the modified space-Fourier transform these spectra can be estimated correctly from polar-orbiting satellite data which are sampled globally at different hours of the day. Space-time spectral analysis has been extensively applied to data generated by GFDL general circulation models to determine the wave characteristics, structure and energetics of transient planetary waves, to verify the model with observations and to clarify their generation mechanisms by means of controlled experiments.

Seismic waves are non-stationary due to its propagation through the earth. Time-frequency transforms are suitable tools for analyzing non-stationary seismic signals. Spectral decomposition can reveal the non-stationary characteristics which cannot be easily observed in the time or frequency representation alone. Various types of spectral decomposition methods have been introduced by some resear...

In this paper, we develop a numerical resolution of the space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation. We utilize spectral-collocation method combining with a product integration technique in order to discretize the terms involving spatial fractional order derivatives that leads to a simple evaluation of the related terms.

Spectral target detection could be regarded as one of the strategic applications of hyperspectral data analysis. The presence of targets in an area smaller than a pixel’s ground coverage has led to the development of spectral un-mixing methods to detect these types of targets. Usually, in the spectral un-mixing algorithms, the similar weights have been assumed for spectral bands. Howe...
